Sony's retail presence has been dwindling like a slow bleed over the last few years as many consumers have moved online for tech purchases -- not to mention other brands dominating the mobile world for personal gadgetry.

Nevertheless, Sony has been redistributing its brainpower and resources elsewhere, some of which has paid off. That is most evident in the gaming world with the Sony PlayStation 4 that started shipping last year.

Sony has also been garnering attention for its efforts in advancing flat-screen technology, namely "all-things-4K," according to the electronics business itself.
